Black Hole Bonanza: StarTalk Live! With Janna Levin and Jenny Greene

The origin of that is the GPS satellites. They are in a different gravitational field from us. So their clocks take at a different rate about because of general relativity. Yet all of our clocks are synchronized and perfect because we pre-correct the GPS time for general relativity so that it's correct on Earth time. That's... Yeah. Well, it's also proven because we know that there are subatomic particles, which have incredibly short lifetimes. If they're just sitting in your laboratory, they decay in a fraction of a second but you boost them near the speed of light, and they will appear to live for minutes. Wow. It's real. Right.
